It seems tough to me, but hey, maybe someone knows a way?

Sounds like you are a hard worker so i’m sure Putting things into action will not be an issue!

Hi Biggerpockets Team,I hate writing, hearing or reading about anything like this subject but my Licensed contractor abandoned my project.This guy was a referral from a co worker (her husband) and my due diligence showed nothing negative.He has stopped all communications with me and I am starting to unravel everything and get moving to finalize my project as an owner builder and I am finding that he did not do a lot of things.

I will warn you that MF is a little tough in this market - lots of competition for little inventory.

If you talk to your family and friends and old co-workers, you can tell them that you are in the business now and ask if there is anything you can do for them.

Its a tough town but with the right strategy it can work. 

Projected rent is tough for a property owned and rented for 6 months unless you've got a solid backstory.

If you get a good case worker sometimes they can leverage compliance with threatening rescinding the voucher.
